Signed, this oil by Charles-Henri Contencin (1898–1955) shows the Matterhorn after sunrise, Zermatt, Switzerland.

Now the tenth distinct work by Contencin in this collection, this sunrise view of the Matterhorn joins his earlier compositions of the mountain's Stockji Glacier and Riffelberg vantage points by other artists, offering his own atmospheric interpretation of the Alps' most photographed and painted peak.

Collectors of Charles-Henri Contencin's extensive Matterhorn/Zermatt output, now well represented across this collection, will find this a fine addition to his sustained engagement with the mountain.
